Overview
Our client manages high volumes of Certificate of Insurance requests across hundreds of decentralized subaccounts.
Each COI request required intake and review of email-based submissions, validation of policy and coverage details, subaccount-specific rule checks, CRM verification, certificate generation, delivery, and audit logging.
As request volumes increased, inbox-driven workflows created delays, repetitive data entry, and limited visibility into request status. The client needed a scalable certificate of insurance automation framework that could improve turnaround time without adding proportional headcount.
Business Challenge
The client’s COI issuance process depended heavily on manual inbox monitoring, email review, data entry, and policy validation. This created bottlenecks across subaccounts and made it difficult to maintain speed, accuracy, and traceability at scale.
01
Manual review of COI request emails and attachments slowed intake across decentralized subaccounts.
02
Repetitive data entry increased administrative workload and created avoidable error risk.
03
Repetitive data entry increased administrative workload and created avoidable error risk.
04
Subaccount-specific issuance rules were difficult to apply consistently through manual workflows.
05
Inbox-driven processing limited real-time visibility into request status, SLA adherence, and bottlenecks.
elsai Solution
elsai implemented a governed Certificate of Insurance (COI) Issuance Orchestration Framework to automate request intake, information extraction, policy validation, CRM verification, certificate generation, delivery, and audit tracking.
The solution helped the insurance organization move from manual, inbox-driven COI processing to a structured workflow with faster issuance, consistent rule enforcement, and centralized operational visibility.
The elsai COI issuance workflow included:
• Automated multi-inbox intake to capture and process incoming COI requests across hundreds of decentralized inboxes and subaccounts.
• Structured request extraction to identify requester details, coverage requirements, policy references, certificate holder information, and subaccount context from emails and attachments.
• Policy and coverage validation to verify each request against defined coverage conditions and issuance requirements before certificate generation.
• Subaccount-specific rule enforcement to apply configurable account-level requirements consistently across decentralized insurance operations.
• CRM-aligned policy verification to confirm account, policy, and coverage information against current CRM records before issuance.
• Automated exception routing to direct incomplete, conflicting, or non-compliant requests to the appropriate operations team for review.
• Instant COI generation and delivery to create and distribute validated certificates through an automated workflow in under 60 seconds.
Business Impact
COI Issuance Reduced to Under 60 Seconds
Automated intake, validation, certificate generation, and delivery significantly reduced the time required to complete eligible COI requests.
Reduced Manual Email Processing
Automating inbox monitoring, request classification, data extraction, and routing reduced repetitive work for insurance operations teams.
Greater Consistency Across Subaccounts
Configurable account-level rules helped standardize certificate processing across decentralized inboxes and business units.
Improved Certificate Accuracy
Policy validation and CRM verification reduced the risk of certificates being generated with incomplete, inconsistent, or outdated information.
Fewer Request-Related Follow-Ups
Early detection of missing information and validation issues helped reduce avoidable back-and-forth with requesters.
Centralized Request and SLA Visibility
Real-time dashboards gave operations teams a single view of request status, turnaround times, exceptions, and SLA adherence.
Audit-Ready Insurance Operations
Every intake, validation, verification, exception, and issuance action was recorded with end-to-end traceability.
The elsai Advantage
• COI workflow automation across multiple inboxes and subaccounts.
• Structured request extraction from emails and attachments.
• Policy and coverage validation before certificate generation.
• Subaccount-specific workflow rules for consistent issuance.
• CRM-aligned verification for stronger data accuracy.
• Real-time request tracking and SLA monitoring.
